Removal of abandoned vehiclesN.I.
30.—(1) Where it appears to a district council that a motor vehicle in its district is abandoned without lawful authority on any land in the open air or on any other land forming part of a road the council shall, subject to the following provisions of this Article, remove the vehicle.
(2) Where it appears to a district council that the land on which a motor vehicle is abandoned as aforesaid is occupied by any person, the council shall, before removing the vehicle under paragraph (1), serve on him notice that it proposes to do so and the council shall not be entitled to remove it if, within the prescribed period, that person serves on the council notice that he objects to the proposal; and a district council shall not be required under paragraph (1) to remove a vehicle situated otherwise than on a carriageway if it appears to the council that the cost of its removal to the nearest convenient carriageway would be unreasonably high.
(3) Where under this Article a district council proposes to remove a vehicle which in its opinion is in such a condition that it ought to be destroyed the council shall, not less than the prescribed period before removing it, cause to be affixed to the vehicle a notice stating that the council proposes to remove it for destruction on the expiration of that period.
(4) While a vehicle, other than a vehicle to which a notice was affixed under paragraph (3), is in the custody of a district council under this Article, the council shall take such steps as are reasonably necessary for the safe custody of the vehicle.
